In Sanskrit, the word Yantra means an instrument or an apparatus. However, in Rigvedic Sanskrit, it meant an instrument for restraining or fastening, a prop, support or barrier. In Hinduism, Yantras are associated to a particular deity and are used for specific purposes. They are used for meditation, protection from harmful influences, development of particular powers, attraction of wealth or success, etc. They are used in daily ritual worship at home or in temples and sometimes worn as a talisman.

 As an aid to meditation, yantras represent the deity that is the object of meditation. These yantras emanate from the central point, the bindu. Typically, a yantra has several geometric shapes radiating concentrically from the centre, including triangles, circles, hexagons, octagons, and symbolic lotus petals. The outside often includes a square representing the four cardinal directions, with doors to each of them.

It is believed that Yantras increase the intensity of prayers and make one’s thought stronger. Your wish and intention of prosperity and affluence along with a Yantra amplifies the power of the prayer. If one is unable to chant mantras due to the tough pronunciations, using a yantra is the best alternative. Yantras are the ultimate answer for establishing a vibration of large amplitude or resonance with the beneficial energies of the cosmos. Thus the vibrations generated get us in contact with highly elevated energies & entities which help us attain spiritual course of conduct in our daily lives & enhance the spirituality within.
